Chapter 1 Part 7: Two Sided Guilt

Start from the beginning
                                        

     The morning announcement played, releasing me from my peaceful sleep. I rubbed my eyes and focused my attention on the monitor. There was only one Monokub. It was Monodam. I yawned lightly before getting up from my bed and taking a shower. Once I was done with the shower, I put on my new clean uniform and headed out to head to the dining hall.
I walked from the dormitory into the school. Once I got through the entrance hall doors, I turned left to head go the dining hall. I noticed Tsumugi near the staircase that led to the next floor. She looked very upset about something, so I decided to approach her. Once I did, she let out a sigh of sadness.
"Hey Tsumugi, are you alright? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Look at this. My nails are all messed up...," Tsumugi explained, showing me her nails, "it probably happened when we came here. And now I can't take good care of them."
"Your nails?" I asked in response.
"I understand... You're surprised that plain old cares about my nails, right?" Tsumugi asked.
"Well. Saying that also calls me plain and old. So no, I'm not surprised," I replied, "but when you say nails, you mean nail art right? I'm terrible at it. I've tried it before."
"Oh, I see. You're too busy with watching anime to do your nails. I'm guessing you try to draw stuff too. I guess you get pretty busy," Tsumugi replied.
"It's not only that. I was in culinary class too before I was trapped here. You're not allowed to have long nails," I explained in response.
(If you're not in culinary, too bad. I'm putting this because I'm in culinary, and I'm replacing the case for Kaede)
"Oh, I see. Nails would get in the way when preparing food, huh?" Tsumugi asked.
"Yeah... but they're a bit longer now..." I replied.
I realized that I had a something to give Tsumugi to help her with her nails. It was the nailbrush I found on the floor in the library. I smiled lightly.
"I know! I can give you this nailbrush if you want!" I exclaimed.
"Huh? Are you sure? But, I can't just take it for free," Tsumugi replied.
"Don't worry about it. I always love helping others," I replied.
"No, no. For things like this, we need an equivalent exchange," Tsumugi said boldly.
"You just made a Fullmetal Alchemist reference didn't you?" I asked.
"I couldn't resist but it's true. How about I do your nails later?" Tsumugi replied.
"Really!? That sounds like fun! Let's do it!" I exclaimed.
"Then let's do it this afternoon..." Tsumugi said, "Oh! We can use the game room."
"Got it! This will be so much fun! Thank you!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, see you later," Tsumugi replied, before going to the dining hall.
I made my way to the dining hall as well. Once I got there, I noticed everyone was there, and they were all in a good mood too. This caused a small smile to form on my face.
"Maaan, for a moment I had no idea what was gonna happen! I'm glad it turned out like this!" Kokichi exclaimed.
"Nyahahaha! And (y/n) is safe too! I wonder where she went yesterday!" Angie exclaimed.
"Yeah, seriously... both of you have good points..." Kaito replied.
"Nyeh... I slept well last night. Also I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth by myself," Himiko said happily.
"You did all that with magic!? You're so amazing, Himiko!" Tenko exclaimed.
"Praise be to Atua. Surely He helped you in His own mysterious, miraculous way," Angie replied.
"This Atua seems to act in Secret a lot..." Tsumugi mentioned.
"Because Atua smells of danger," Angie replied.
"But... when someone coming to get us?" Gonta asked.
"Whoever does...I assume they will come today. There's no need to worry," Keebo replied.
At the comment Keebo made, Rantaro and I kinda looked a bit upset. I knew that something was going to happen.
"Why the long faces?" Ryoma asked us.
"It's nothing..." Rantaro and I happened to say at the same time.
We both looked at each other when that happened with wide eyes. I smiled lightly at him to try and lighten the mood. It didn't work this time.
"I figure no one would listen to some guy who can't even remember his own talent, right?" Rantaro asked.
I elbowed Rantaro after he said that. He winced slightly in pain. I sighed lightly after that.
"Like I said before. It doesn't matter if thy remember your talent or not. We will still listen and treat you as an equal," I told him.
"Right..." Rantaro replied.
"Anyway. I hate to interrupt, but what did two mean?" Kirumi asked.
"Really, it's nothing. This is...quite the happy ending," Rantaro and I said at the same time.
We both looked at each other with shocked looks once again.
"Jinx!" I yelled.
"Ah-haha, why does this keep happening?" Rantaro asked with a nervous laugh.
"I don't know, but it's weird," I replied.
"Is this really how it ends though?" Kaede asked.
I looked towards Kaede. I nodded at her, basically telling her that she's right.
"I mean, it just seems too easy. I don't think it'll end like this," Kaede said nervously.
"I wonder... Do you wish the killing game would have continued?" Kiyo asked.
"N-No, not at all—" Kaede replied.
"Then don't ruin our happy moment you fuckin' skank!" Miu exclaimed harshly.
"Miu cut it out!" I yelled.
"Oh, the useless Otaku wants to yell at me. Boo hoo. I won't listen you hentai driven whore!" Miu replied.
My eyes narrowed slightly. I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth.
"Oh I'm sorry, you're the one who's most likely hentai driven. I mean look at how slutty you are. It's no surprise that you are addicted to porn," I replied, making an attempt at a comeback.
Miu stayed silent after that, most likely upset that I called her out. Everyone looked shocked that I actually insulted someone, and mentioned inappropriate media.
"Nee-hee-hee Nice comeback (y/n)... but let's get back on topic," Kokichi explained, "Hey, Kaede... I don't get what you're so worried about. Monokuma is dead now. There's no way the killing game can continue, y'know?"
Suddenly we heard the annoying noise that Monokuma and the Monokubs made when appearing in the room. What we saw was... Monokuma in a terrible yokai cosplay....
"Oh no..." I muttered.
